Well, since I've been so sick this week I shouldn't be surprised I'm back up. But it's still a bummer!

Great recipes this week, guys! I tried the spinach artichoke dip and the black bean quesadillas, both were delicious! I saved the others to try later, too

CW: 256.8 (I need to step it up!)
Owls: 70
Newts: 10
HPs: 96

Happy start of October, Gryffs! Let's make it count!

Oct 1 GW: 160lbs - met and passed on September 27th!!

Newts: Post a recipe x 0 = 0 Points; Try a recipe x 1 = 5 points

House Points: Monday 26th Sept to Sunday 2nd Oct totalled 452 Minutes = 452 Points

A mild cold and a pulled muscle in my shoulder/neck sucked the life outta me this week Hopefully next week will be better.

A little late, but PREFECT TIME!

If you don't see your info on the chart, you just missed the cut off for this week's chart. Your info will count towards your starting weight for October, so don't worry!

Our Prefects from the last week of September are:

Jls1661 (for weight lost) and Kelsue35 (for Owls/Newts)! Great work, both of you!

Here are your Prefect Badges (copy this link into your signature and change the IMG to img):



Here's the chart:



You all make me so proud! I challenge you all do a little more than you did this month and bring that House Cup to the Gryffindors!

I can't believe I almost forgot! I want to name our Quidditch Captain for the most weight lost for the month!

The Quidditch Captain for September is MindyBlack! Great job, girl!

Here's your badge:



Paste this link in your signature and change the IMG to img:

***ALSO! If you're close to your goal and don't want to lose any more weight, feel free to let me know if you'd like to track inches or something like that to participate from now on! Even if you only contribute House Points, I'd be more than happy to have you stick around. Please just let me know.

October Week 1 OWLs & NEWTs!

WEEK 2:
(Starting after check-in between 10/7-10/10
and ending with check-in between 10/14-10/17)

OWL (exercise): Woodchops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkhATg1-b9g&feature=relmfu). You earn 1 OWL for each rep. Let's rack them up, Gryffs!
NEWT (food): Now that it's officially Fall, try dusting off (or googling) a typically Fall recipe and incorporating that into your meal plan this week. It can be anything from pumpkin cookies (check out my blog for a delicious, low cal recipe!), to a nice hot soup, to maybe a light version of a turkey dinner (and everything in between). You earn 5 points for making a Fall recipe, 5 points if you share it in the Common Room, and 5 points if the recipe includes an in-season veggie that you haven't had for a while/haven't tried before. 15 points total max for the week!

Also, posted here in the October challenges blog:

***Also, I would appreciate some food challenge suggestions! I want your opinion of things that you've liked that we've already done, things you'd like to do, things you DON'T like to do, etc.

Do you like repeating a few food challenges or would you like more variety? Do you like more things you have to do a little every day, or things you just do once or twice a week?

I'm so excited to be a prefect!!! Already sent an Owl home to tell the folks!!!

Thanks for the cool badge.:bigsmile: I didn't even know this was a possibility. Does this mean I get to make people practice in the rain and mud?

It sure does! You have to whip us into shape!

It was a last minute decision, tho, you haven't been out of the loop. The Head of Ravenclaw sent me a link to some badges and asked it I could make them match our other stuff so she could award one of her students with Quidditch Captain. I thought, why not? Plus, they turned out really cool!

****N***O***T***I***C***E****

This week's check in is the results for our first week in October!

Before we get too far in, I want to update everyone's info.

I NEED THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU CHECK IN THIS WEEK:

1) Goal weight for October 31st (or Halloween)!

***If you are at your goal weight and would like to instead track inches, or some other unit of fitness like calories burned or miles walked or something else that would motivate you personally more than just OWLs, NEWTs and House Points, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THIS.

2) Your weight from the weekend of 9/30-10/3 if you have not already given it to me.

***If I don't get this from you, your weight will not be counted until you've weighed in for 2 weeks in a row, just to remind you.

3) Whether or not you are able to earn House Points. If you aren't ABLE to, please let me know ahead of time for the week.

***This is a new guideline to make the averages more fair for people who may be sick or injured.

Thanks Gryffindors! Also, give me feedback on my questions about NEWTs above, if you have time please!

My Harry Potter related NSV

Today at church my friend passed me a note that said, "Being Prefect has done wonders for you". Now this friend is actually in the fitness business. She is going for her bachelor's in exercise physiology or something of that nature so she is my non MFP go to person and one of my Bff's. Naturally I share my struggles and successes with her. She is a pretty hard critic too, so it really meant a lot coming from her. Just had to share.
